Скачать или смотреть Qatar’s Historical Al Zubarah Fort Visit | Places to Visit in Qatar

It was a pleasure to support the great work of #DeapQatar today and participate in the removal of 500 kgs of waste from Al Zubarah Beach. Our Invest Qatar colleagues arranged a Beach Cleanup Day to support local efforts to clean up beaches in Qatar.

Then we visited the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Al Zubarah Archaeological Site, which offers a glimpse into Qatar’s history.

Adjacent to the walled coastal town of Al Zubarah, this 20th century fort is the youngest and most prominent feature of the Al Zubarah Archaeological Site, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A pristine example of a typical Arab fort, its one-meter-thick walls warded off invaders and helped keep rooms cool during the hot summer. This important site houses residential palaces, mosques, courtyard houses, fishermen’s huts, streets, double defensive walls, a harbour, a canal, and cemeteries.

The fort overlooks the ruins of a once bustling pearling and trading town which bore witness to fierce tribal battles in the 18th century as powerful empires fought for regional dominance. Today, the fort has been transformed into a museum where visitors can explore artefacts from the pearl diving era.

Nearby attractions:
To the northeast of Zubarah, visitors can see Al Thaqab Fort, and if lucky, catch turtle hatching season along the coast. Near the town of Al Khor, visitors can kayak through the Al Thakira Mangroves, or explore Bin Ghannam, also known as Purple Island for the dye produced here in antiquity.
